Situated on a road side position on the historic A7 borders to Edinburgh route, Mosspaul Hotel is a charming family run country hotel with Caravan Club CL and potential for 15 pitch caravan site  that is located 12 miles south of the town of Hawick, and just over a 30 minute drive north of the City of Carlisle. With many popular towns and villages in close proximity to Mosspaul such as Melrose, Kelso & Jedburgh just to name a few and each with a wealth of places to visit, the location of Mosspaul makes for an ideal base for visitors to tour the beautiful country side and towns of the Scottish Borders.  The hotel is now offered for sale due to the current owner’s wish to retire after 7 successful years operating Mosspaul Hotel. As prospective purchasers will notice on entering, our clients have created a warm and friendly atmosphere throughout with a great level of attention being paid to detail and to quality. Not only has the personal touch helped make the hotel successful, Mosspaul Hotel is known for the delicious meals that are served to residents and diners from throughout the borders and further beyond. Over recent years the hotel has benefited greatly by the addition of The Hermitage Room, a most impressive newly built function room. The addition of The Hermitage Room has resulted in Mosspaul becoming a popular venue for conferences, meetings & private parties. Another major benefit to the hotel and something that offers huge potential of additional income for Mosspaul, is the Caravan Club Certificated Location which is situated to one side of the hotel. The local planning authority have informally indicated that there would be no difficulty in obtaining planning permission for a 15 van touring caravan site with associated toilet/ shower/ laundry block. The site currently has pitches for 5 caravans all of which have hard standing with electrical hook up. As all services (drainage, electricity and water) are laid to the existing CL the additional investment to create a further 10 pitches would not be high. Over and above rental income from the park, our client believes that the site offers tremendous potential to generate further income from bar & restaurant sales within the hotel. It should be noted that the site is included in the overall asking price for Mosspaul. Over recent years the business due to lifestyle choice, has operated on a leisurely basis, which is reflected in the accounts. However we believe that the business is now in a strong position for new owners to maximise income through various income streams such as the Caravan Park, restaurant & room sales. Our clients believe that with opening seven days of the week and running a tailored marketing programme to promote the hotel; business at Mosspaul would increase quite considerably. With the hotels location giving easy access to some of Scotland’s finest towns and cities, and also being surrounded by truly breathtaking scenery, Mosspaul Hotel really does offers the best of both worlds when it comes to location. The hotel would be ideal for a family or a husband & wife team who are looking for a business with genuine potential to increase trade through food & wet sales side of the business.

Caravan Club CL

We understand that the site could comfortably cater for around 15 pitches for which the present owners understand planning permission would be given.
